Rebellious Contract Beast

The two words "Brother Peng" seemed to have touched a soft spot. The man in black robe's face darkened and he stared at the other person.

The atmosphere around them became tense, but "Qu Ye" seemed to have noticed nothing, with a half-smile on his face, and the words "confident and fearless" were almost written on his face, but his eyes were somewhat cold and unlike a human.

The Tiger Gang disciples around realized that the two were about to fight, so they reached for the weapons at their waists and stood behind their respective leaders, ready to fight at any time.

Fortunately, things did not develop in the direction they expected. After a stalemate, Xu Can snorted coldly, passed by "Qu Ye", and strode into the gate.

Looking at his back, Mingyue's smile seemed to be murderous, and then, fearing that the world would not be in chaos, she shouted again: "Master Peng, you have to hurry up, everyone has been waiting for you for a long time."

These words made Xu Can's face even uglier, and he still said nothing.

When they entered the building, the lobby was already crowded with people. Sitting on the chairs in front of the Eight Immortals Table were either the heads of various halls or the middle-level managers of the Tiger Gang. It was very lively. Some people talked big while others were silent. For example, the head of the Fu Hu Hall, Hu Shouliang, had the same gloomy expression as his brothers.

When Xu Can entered the hall, the surrounding environment suddenly became quiet. The two looked at each other, and no one spoke.

"Master Xu, how are you these days?"

"Master Xu, you are finally here. We have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Don't you want a drink first?"

"..."

The leaders of other halls greeted him one after another, but Xu Can did not respond from beginning to end. He just glanced around coldly, and the people who were speaking suddenly shut their mouths and dared not say anything more.

Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, the Tiger Gang leaders who had been looking nonchalant before all sat up straight.

Xu Can walked forward step by step. Judging from his appearance, he was preparing to sit directly in the main seat which only the gang leader was qualified to sit on. However, under the gaze of countless eyes, he paused, and for some reason, he chose to sit on the seat to the left of the main seat, facing the leader of Fuhu Hall.

Seeing that the two most powerful people in the Tiger Gang were silent, as if someone owed them a million, the other people present did not dare to say a word, and the atmosphere was terribly depressing.

It was not until Mingyue entered the hall with the appearance of "Qu Ye" that someone finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted to him: "Master Qu, our time is precious. If you have anything to say, please say it quickly."

Mingyue looked around and found only one seat left at the table, which was the third chair on the right side of the main seat. It knew very well that it was the seat of the last leader of the Tiger Gang, so it just glanced at it and ignored it, then swaggered to the main seat and sat down.

This action immediately made the faces of the people around him look ugly. The already gloomy face of White Tiger Hall Master Xu Can became even gloomier. His face was dark, as if it was about to drip.

"Master Qu! What do you mean? You can sit in that seat, too?"

"Get up!"

"Qu Ye! You are not a child anymore, how can you act so recklessly? Get up and get out of the way!"

"Your place is here!"

"Since the founding of the Tiger Gang, that position has always been reserved for the gang leader. What's your intention as a hall master sitting there?"

"Elder Hu, the Tiger Gang has strict rules. This Qu Yang is arrogant and treats the rules as nothing. How should he be punished?"

"..."

The entire Peng Mansion was in an uproar, with everyone talking at once, denouncing Qu Yang who had been possessed by Mingyue.

But it didn't care at all and didn't move at all after sitting down.

However, faced with such a voice, Xu Can and Hu Shouliang said nothing abnormally. They just stared at it with scrutiny or thought in their eyes.

After the scene had quieted down a bit, Mingyue slowly opened her mouth and shouted, "Silence!"

"Everyone, don't forget that I invited you here this time because I have something important to discuss. You haven't had lunch yet, right? If you want to catch up quickly, don't waste any more time."

"What bullshit should be put aside in advance. Let me ask you, what is your intention in sitting in the main seat?"

"Gang leader? I don't see any gang leader. Since all the Tiger Gangs have no gang leader, I think anyone can take this position."

bang~
"You are trying to rebel! How can we take the rules of our Tiger Gang as a joke?" Someone slammed the table and one of them stood up and yelled at Mingyue.

Mingyue looked and saw that the person who was speaking was an old man. He was the leader of the Black Tiger Gang and also the oldest and most experienced member of the Tiger Gang. He had followed Peng Chonghu to build the Tiger Gang since its establishment.

But after he finished yelling, Xu Can stretched out his hand to press him down and said, "Everyone, please be patient. It won't be too late to ask about this matter later. Let's listen to what Hall Master Qu has to say first."

"Master Xu is truly a wise man. If that's the case, then I'll tell you."

"Say it!"

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have come."

Mingyue took a sip of tea nonchalantly, and sat more relaxed. She said, "As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and a family cannot be without a master for a day. I think this saying is also true for our Tiger Gang."

"Qu Ye! What on earth do you mean!"

"It's meaningless. Our leader hasn't cared about the affairs of the gang for several years. Naturally, his position as leader is only in name only. This is the fact. Since you won't say it, let me say it. How can the Tiger Gang let a loser occupy the toilet without doing anything?"

"Qu Ye! How dare you disrespect the leader? What crime should you be punished for?"

"Qu Ye! Do you want to usurp the position of gang leader?"

"I don't think he dares! He wants to be the leader of the gang! But he has to ask us first if we agree or not!"

"..."

The heads of the various halls started to denounce them again, but Mingyue seemed not to hear them. She imitated the head of the Black Tiger Hall and slammed the table, quieting the scene again. "Shut up!"

"Qu Ye! You are not the only hall master here!"

"Yes! As long as we give the order, the leader of the Evil Tiger Hall can be replaced at any time!"

"Change people? This is not up to you!" Mingyue snorted coldly and continued: "I'll be frank. Now the Zhu family is giving us less and less support. They even plan to support the Canghai Gang to replace us. Not only that, the East City Blood Brotherhood Gang is eyeing us covetously. You haven't forgotten what happened to the second wife of the Zhu family last time, right? We lost so many brothers. Who should we blame? If it continues like this, the Zhonghu Gang will disappear sooner or later! So we need a powerful person to sit in the position of the gang leader and preside over the overall situation, because we are the Zhonghu Gang, a gang! Not six halls, Hall Master Xu, don't you think so?"

Xu Can looked at him with cold eyes, he knew very well what was going on with the Tiger Gang. Last time, in order to vent his younger sister's anger, he sent countless elite disciples out, but in the end, not even half of them came back.

However, this matter was promoted jointly by him and his brother. Although the losses were heavy, the people from other halls did not dare to say it directly. They all talked about it in private and had a tacit understanding. Now Mingyue said it directly in the open, which was undoubtedly a provocation to him.

The hand hidden on the table was clenched into a fist, and the knuckles were white. One can imagine how angry Xu Can was at this moment, but he also knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn't say anything.

The other hall masters also looked at Xu Can with strange expressions, and it was obvious that they also knew the whole story.

The atmosphere in the hall fell silent again. Not long after, it was the head of Fuhu Hall, Hu Shouliang, who smiled and spoke first to break the silence: "Everyone calm down first. Let me say something."

"Elder Hu, please speak."

"Yes, everyone is listening to you."

"Okay, then I'll say it. First of all, a country cannot be without a king, and our great Tiger Gang naturally cannot be without a leader. Although the leader is still alive, his condition is getting worse and worse. He is seriously ill and can't get out of bed. He has long been unwilling to take care of the affairs of the gang. Secondly, with the six major halls, this is the Tiger Gang. If we are just a group of scattered soldiers fighting each other, sooner or later we will become fish on the chopping board of others. So I agree with what Hall Master Qu said, but Hall Master Qu, who do you think can take charge of the overall situation? Do you really want to usurp the position of leader?"

After hearing his words, Mingyue couldn't help but applaud. The "pa pa pa" sound rang out in the lobby, but it sounded a little lonely.

"As expected of Elder Hu, what he said was very good and sensible. But if you want to know who is the one who can preside over the overall situation of our Tiger Gang, then of course..." Mingyue said as she glanced around and finally stopped at Hu Shouliang.

The other party was slightly stunned and frowned, as if he thought of something, but Mingyue's next words made him confused again.

"Of course it's not you, Elder Hu, hehehe~"

After saying that, Mingyue started laughing, and her mouth was so wide that it reached her ears.

He directly offended the two most powerful people in the Tiger Gang in one breath. Such a provocative behavior was thought to make everyone present explode again, but surprisingly, the leaders of the various halls present did not say anything, but just looked at him with strange eyes.

Although the heads of these six major halls do not interact with each other frequently, they have a certain understanding of each other.

As the leader of the Evil Tiger Hall, Qu Yang has always been the most vulnerable. In the past, he would never take the initiative to put forward his opinions. After the leader became seriously ill, he even tried to please the leaders of the White Tiger Hall and the Subduing Tiger Hall, causing others to sneer at him.
But for some reason today, he actually had the guts to openly go against the White Tiger Hall and the Subduing Tiger Hall. Anyone who is not a fool can see that Qu Ye has become a different person.

Is he crazy? Or does he have someone behind him that allows him to be so presumptuous?
Even though they are only the hall master and other high-level members of the Tiger Gang, each of them survives in the gap between the big families. After so many years, they still have basic thinking ability.

They are not stupid. Rather than thinking that Qu Yang is crazy, they would rather believe that Qu Ye has someone backing him.

No one understood better than them that in Jiangzhou City, people often lost their lives just because of saying the wrong thing.

Thinking of this, no one present dared to act rashly. They all looked at Mingyue, wondering what he was planning.

"What's wrong with all this? We haven't even finished talking yet, why are you all silent?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Mingyue couldn't help but ask, with a puzzled expression on her face.

After hearing his words, the heads of all the halls looked at each other, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding at that moment.

Soon, the oldest Black Tiger Hall elder stood up and said, "Master Qu, I understand your intention, but appointing a new leader is a serious matter. After all, our Tigers are still leaderless. But how about we talk about this another day when the leader is better?"

Hearing this, Mingyue nodded and agreed, "Good idea." But after saying these three words, it changed the subject and said, "But the longer the night, the more dreams there are. I see that the leader looks much better these days. If there is anything, let's talk about it today."

"You..." The Black Tiger Hall Master blew his beard and was about to accuse him of something, but Mingyue ignored him and just shouted to the back: "Bring him up."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pretty girl was seen pushing a wooden wheelchair into the lobby. In the wheelchair sat a middle-aged man with white hair and an extremely haggard face. His eyes were dull and his hands were flat on the armrests on both sides, as if he had no consciousness. This man was the current leader of the Tiger Gang, Tiger King Peng Chenghao!
As soon as he appeared, the faces of everyone present turned extremely ugly, as if they had guessed what was going to happen next.

As expected, as the girl pushed Peng Chenghao to the main seat, Mingyue immediately stood up and bowed to him, saying, "I am Qu Ye, a disciple of the Evil Tiger Hall, and I pay my respects to the leader."

Seeing this, others followed suit. Voices of "Greetings, Gang Leader" were heard sporadically, but they sounded very perfunctory.

Seeing all the Tiger Gang leaders saluting him, there was no light in Peng Chenghao's eyes, as if he saw nothing and all he saw was nothing.

"Boss, you are ill, so we shouldn't have invited you here. But you can see that the current Tiger Gang is in disarray. If it continues like this, the Tiger Gang will not survive. We need a capable backbone to succeed the leader and maintain stability. Please forgive me. After so many years, I think you should step back, right?"

Mingyue said seriously, and his words seemed to have activated some kind of mechanism. Peng Chenghao's dull eyes became more lively. Then he turned his head with difficulty and looked at the leader of the Black Tiger Hall who was sitting in the second chair to the right of the main seat. He opened his mouth and made ugh, ugh and ah sounds, as if he wanted to say something.

Upon seeing this, the Black Tiger Hall leader's face lit up with joy, and he was about to stand up and say something, but before he could move, Peng Chenghao, who was slumped in the wheelchair, stiffened and turned to look at Mingyue.

This time it was its turn to be happy, and hurriedly asked, "Has someone chosen the leader?"

Peng Chenghao couldn't say anything, but he still slowly raised one hand and pointed his finger at the bright moon.

If you just look at the action, it's easy to mistakenly think that he wants Qu Ye to succeed him as gang leader, but if you look at his face, you'll find that Peng Chenghao's expression is actually angry. His raised arm is shaking violently, and his mouth is open, making a "ho ho" sound, trying hard to say something. After a few seconds, he actually uttered a syllable by willpower.

"you……"

But it was just a syllable. After the word "you", Mingyue grabbed her wrist and forced her to let go.

"Boss, you don't need to say any more. I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will never let you down!"

"..."
